The EAT Lancet Commission gathered dozens of scientists across health disciplines from various countries. They develop a diet that not only makes the culprit healthy, but also pays attention to sustainable food production. In general, the literature calls this pattern a 'win-win' or mutual benefit. both for humans and nature.
"Healthy and sustainable. EAT Lancet recommends a healthy diet for the sustainability of nature." During the Keto Diet, said EAT Lancet Commissioner Rina Agustina at a press conference at the Indonesian Ministry of Health Office, Kuningan, Jakarta, Friday (1/18/2019). At present, food inequality still occurs in the community.
On the one hand, there are people who are still having trouble getting enough nutritional food. On the other hand, there are groups of people who have excess food and are exposed to a number of non-communicable diseases. If no action is taken, the children and grandchildren who inherit the planet earth will potentially experience malnutrition and diseases that can actually be prevented.
For this reason, EAT Lancet Commissioner Rina Agustina said, there needs to be a dietary transformation that is carried out immediately. "All must get healthy food," said Rina Agustina. Most studies conclude, a diet that is rich in plant-based food sources and less animal-based food will be more beneficial to health and the environment. However, there is still no global consensus on the definition of healthy food and sustainable food production. Then, what kind of diet is considered ideal?
Expand vegetables and fruit
As an illustration, take a plate. Fill 50 percent or half of the dish with vegetables and fruit. Next, half of the remaining plates are filled with whole grains, vegetable protein, unsaturated fats, and a little animal protein.
Unfortunately, said Rina, there are still many Indonesians still not filling most of their dishes with vegetables and fruit. White rice or carbohydrate sources still often dominate dinner plates.
Rina added, efforts to educate the public to replace rice with other carbohydrate sources, such as sago, cassava, corn, and others, continue to be done. "
The ancestors ate it. Actually (this) must be promoted because it will help us improve health and reduce damage to the earth," said Rina.
Avoiding red meat
This "win-win" diet encourages consumption of other animal sources, such as fish and seafood, and avoids red meat. Red meat is considered to have a negative impact on the long term. Among all carbon traces, red meat is called leaving the most traces. In addition, said Rina, many parties have proven that red meat has a lot to do with mortality.
"The role of red meat is consistent with the incidence of cardiovascular disease, death, etc. Especially those that are processed," he said. "The point is diversity. Food diversity and we encourage more plant-based sources."
